EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State sophomore guard Gary Harris injured his right ankle in a pickup game with teammates on Friday and will be out four to eight weeks.

Harris, a potential All-American and 2014 NBA first-round pick, was able to avoid offseason shoulder surgery after having issues with both shoulders during a terrific freshman season. MSU's preseason practice is scheduled to begin four weeks from Friday and the season opener is six weeks after that, Nov. 8 against McNeese State.
